Our Unwinding Ethos

Poon Doh-lai (Lin Xiawei) while on-site investigating the legend of the Bride's Pool with her Folklore studies introductory class, witnesses supernatural activities transpiring around the bride-to-be, Topaz (Moon Lau).

Doh-lai and Chi-pok slowly discovers that the legend of the Bride's Pool was in fact used to cover up crimes, including the truth behind the death of Topaz's parents.

The two decide to finish Professor Fu's dissertation; however, during their research, they encounter several murder cases that used popular urban legends as a cover up.

The opening theme song "Rumors" performed by Auston Lam, and composed by Alan Cheung was released on July 26 in 2019 by The Voice Entertainment Group limited.

The local urban legend of the Bride's Pool, located near Tai Mei Tuk in Plover Cove Country Park was used as the setting for the introductory episodes of the series.

The bride, along with the sedan fell into the connecting river and she was trapped by the waterfall and washed into the pool below where she drowned, unable to escape due to her heavy wedding dress.

[6] In the Hong Kong legend, the bride's spirit would wander the area and favoured the nearby winding road, giving it the nickname "deadly curve".

In the 1970s and 1980s, the reports of a gigantic mother ship mysteriously hovering over Wah Fu Estate is Hong Kong's most enduring urban UFO myth.

Tai Mo Shan is the highest peak in Hong Kong and located at approximately the geographical centre of the New Territories.

The building was erected in 1974[citation needed] and was originally based on the centuries-old Yu Kiu Ancestral Hall [zh] in Ping Shan.

[8] The village where the school is located has a history of tragedy, with local residents killed and buried in the area after resisting British efforts to evict them from their land.

It has been said that a large number of villagers were massacred in 1941 during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, with their remains buried in graves built into the hillside next to the school.

Hong Kong people believe they are descended from this ancient fish-like creature, which transformed into a human body some time in the past 2,000 years.

"New Stories from Canton (Guang Dong Xin Yu)" published in 1662–1722, "Knowledge from Canton (Yu Chung Kin Mun)" from 1777,"Collection of Lingnan Narratives (Ling Nan Cong Shu)" from 1835, "Notes on the South (Nan Yue Bi Ji)" from 1809, "General Records of the Sun On County (Sun On Yu Zin)" from 1819,[12][13][14] all contain passages about the half-human and half-fish creatures which were mysterious, able to get in-and-out of the sea quickly, not able to speak human languages, but had tails, red hair and a few other features with different descriptions in different versions.

Chi-Pok also runs into his colleague Wong Yuk, who was taking wedding photos by the Bride's pool and met face-to-face with strange supernatural activities.

Despising that someone exploited the tales to commit a crime, Doh-lai together with Tak-lei, Chi-pok and Wong Yuk return to the Bride's pool to investigate the matter.

Chi-pok cannot bear to see Wong Yuk being wronged and is determined to investigate the truth behind her parents' death in a car traffic accident on the deadly curve, ten years ago.

Doh-lai leads the freshmen of the Department of Folklore to try and find the inexplicable incidents on the university campus, unexpectedly, there is a Homicide at the female dormitory.

Doh-lai packs up Tung-ming's relics and finds the Hong Kong Urban Folklore index and encourages Chi-Pok to complete the paper as a farewell to his father.

[7] When filming a meteor show on Tai Mo Shan, Chi-pok notices that there is something wrong with the photos, thus reviving the heated conversation about UFOs.

The successor of Ko Yuen Group, Hui Hok-Ting, secretly returns from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong.

Doh-lai initially was suspicious of Man-bun, however, after noticing a broken refrigerator inside the Cheng family, she eventually uncovers the truth behind the Copycat killer simulating the killings of the Lo Ting Fish-Man.

Having concluded the location where Tung-ming, found the treasure, Doh-lai follows the treaure hunting path but cannot find anything despite her relentless effort.
